It is announced that Bucharest will be very hot this weekend, July 13-14, and most of the following week. A heatwave will affect temperatures in Romania’s capital. This has made even the Open Streets Bucharest organizers cancel all the artistic programs while still keeping the open streets on segments of Calea Victoriei.
Bucharest weather is experiencing a heatwave reaching 40°C (104°F) and above. To ensure a safe and enjoyable visit, international tourists are advised to take some simple precautions:
Sun Safety
- Limit direct sun exposure, especially during peak hours (11:00 AM to 4:00 PM).
- Wear loose, lightweight, breathable clothing covering your shoulders and arms.
- Apply sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher liberally and reapply every two hours, especially after swimming or sweating.
- Wear a wide-brimmed hat and sunglasses for extra protection.
Hydration
- Drink plenty of water throughout the day, even if you don’t feel thirsty. Aim for at least 2 liters (8 cups) daily.
- Avoid sugary drinks and excessive alcohol, as they can dehydrate you further.
- Carry a reusable water bottle and refill it frequently.
Stay cool
- Seek shade whenever possible, especially during the hottest part of the day.
- Take cool showers or baths to lower your body temperature.
- Visit air-conditioned museums, restaurants, or cafes to escape the heat.
